Actually, this reminds me of something else I stumbled upon a LONG time
ago. I don't have a good test case handy, so my details might be a bit
off.
If you have a Department with a to-many to Person, and Person has a
string emailAddress, Cayenne won't let you do this (or at least wouldn't
when I tried it):
List addresses =
manager.readNestedProperty("department.people.emailAddress");
Cayenne didn't want to handle that. EOF supports it. Is there any
reason we shouldn't be able to handle this? (Assuming it still doesn't
handle it.)

I'd think it would be fairly easy to write this, but what do you do if
the last item in the path returns a List of objects instead of a single
object? Apply the value to all of them or throw an exception?

Hi Andrew,
No, unfortunately there's none. Should be easy to add via a custom
wedge class sitting between CayenneDataObject and your own class
(configurable in the Modeler)
